Danny has been transferred...
He had been expecting it because he has a little more than five years left to do on his prison sentence before he is eligible for release. Surprisingly, though, he was transferred to another maximum-security prison as opposed to the medium-security facility his counselor had placed him for. Thus, he will probably stay at his new maximum facility for only a handful of months before he's transferred once more, the next time to a medium.
I had written about Danny in my journal entry, "Danny's Song." During the time he was here, however, Danny had become one of my best friends. And shortly before his departure, he and I would go to the outdoor recreation yard on many evenings to hang out, pray for, and encourage each other.
Danny's a young man of only twenty-four. In my previous entry about him, I described his upbringing and what brought him to prison. Yet in the relatively short time he was here, Danny had matured into a strong Christian. He was actively involved with our choir, and he has an abundance of musical talent, too.
Because I am more than twice his age, I had become something of a father figure to him, and he respected me. Meanwhile, Danny had likewise become my spiritual son.
But now Danny's had to move on, and he will be missed. Yet I'll see him again because we believers in Christ are promised a great reunion in heaven. Danny will be there for sure.
